Re-learning IFR by
Jim
jbo,
I'm roughly in the same position as you and I've found that reading the AIM
really helps more than ever. I've been teaching a instrument rating ground
school and honestly the answers to most of the students questions are in the
AIM. Although the main objective is for the students to prepare...

LOC(BC) MDA: 287 ft AGL by
David Megginson
I've just noticed in the latest CAP (Canadian approach plates) that the MDA
for the LOC(BC) 25 approach at Ottawa/CYOW has been lowered from 800 ft (427
AGL) to 660 ft (287 AGL). I can see how it makes operational sense -- it is
the approach runway usually named in the ATIS (despite the fact that...

VFR on top by
MC
Australia is changing/rearranging its' airspace model to more closely
line-up with ICAO and also to be a _very_ close copy of the current
USA system.
Basically there will be a heck of a lot of class-E. (usually bottomed
at FL180, but in some areas down to A085).
Our radar coverage won't change...

NACO chart question by
Steve Mahoney
In my limited IFR flying.. I have always used Jepp charts. (They seemed much
easier to read and use) The cost difference and their availability on the
web has caused me to seriously considered switching to NACO.
After reviewing these again (NACO) they seem much improved over the old
days......

Just got back from a good proficiency practice flight. This was the first
time I'd flown single pilot IFR at night with conditions that could
potentially deteriorate to actual instrument. (cloudy, rain developing as
the flight progressed, visibility dropping somewhat)
The basic rundown... got the...

reader's question contained the following - (referring to a safety pilot
requirements):

monitoring China air communication with a radio in Taiwan by
Dan Jacobson
Sitting here in central Taiwan, I bet on my VHF scanner I can hear
flights above China talking to controllers, if they are high enough in
the air. Frequencies to monitor would be Hong Kong 121.3,
Guangzhou=?, Shanghai=?, Xiamen=?, Fuzhou=?. A Google search failed.
I also notice 118-136 Mhz....

Question to the IFR Pilots Out There by
Cecil E. Chapman
For those of you who have your instrument ticket, how many hours of actual
IMC did you have when you got your ticket.
At approx 40 hours of instrument time I have a 'whopping' .9 hours of ACTUAL
IMC... I sincerely hope I'm going to get to see a lot more before I get my
instrument ticket - which...

restarting instrument flying by
Matthew S. Whiting
Has anyone here taken an extended hiatus from flying and then returned
to currency? I sold my airplane and quite flying 4.5 years ago to build
a house and for some other economic reasons. I'm about ready to
re-enter the flying world and know that a fair bit has changed since
1999. Any...

How fast should an ADF point? by
Ben Jackson
My ADF (Narco 841) quit pointing shortly after I got the plane, so
I pulled it and found it was covered in swarf (metal shavings) so I
cleaned it off, cleaned the contacts (card edge connector) and put
it back in. Now it points again. What I'm wondering is: How fast
should it point? Let's say...
